Hi,

 

if the server limits the size of the upload file to 2MB, is there a way to increace the limit from the code?

 

Thanks

Put something like:

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="3000000" />

 

in your html form.

i dont think this will affect the server limits, because to my knowledge the Max file size on the form should b used when the server has limts like 100 and if you manualy want to restrict the file size to 10 or 20 you can use that .....

 

i am looking for the function in php like, set_interval someting like this which will replace the value in the php.ini file. bcause the file upload is restricted in the php.ini file so, is there a function to change this limit and increate the upload size ?

 

Thanks

Right.

 

It really depends on your php.ini settings, and wether or not you can override them. And that's not just specific to the options related to these settings.

 

You can use set_ini, .htaccess, or sometimes your host will let you have mini php.ini files. It really depends on your host, and what they allow. They might not allow any overrides.

well  .. then i will check this out with the host

 

 

Thanks !

ok .. this is the code to be placed on the htaccess

 

php_value post_max_size 8M

php_value upload_max_filesize 8M
